William Cobbett: Selected Writings cover

William Cobbett (1763-1835) was a prolific writer, best known as the anti-Radical founder of Cobbett's "Political Register" which ran from 1802-35. This collection of his writings presents the texts fully reset and annotated with biographical and analytical introductions.

'should do much to restore Cobbett to his rightful place at the centre of a Romanticism' The Years Work in English Studies 'These six volumes of some of Cobbett's most influential work are ... welcome ... Leonora Natrass, who in the past has written sensitively on Cobbett's style, has chosen to omit some of his better-known works (such as Rural Rides), and concentrated on those political texts that were widely read in his lifetime, but are much less well known and less easily accessible today ... sterling work.'
